JAKARTA - Google announced the launch of a major update on Google Wallet services that allows users in the UK to verify their identity directly from their phone.
So, British citizens can now make digital identity cards using their passports and store them on Google Wallet.
In the early stages, Google teamed up with Rail Delivery Group to allow passengers to use digital IDs to verify their feasibility of getting Railcard on the railcard.co.uk platform.
In addition, Google Wallet Group Product Manager Alan Stapelberg revealed that they are in charge of certification with the UK Department of Science, Innovation and Technology.
Yang dapat memungkinkan penghuni menggunakan kartu ID Google Wallet mereka untuk pembelian alkohol dan banyak lagi, kata Alan dalam pengumumannya.
The digital ID feature has also been expanded to four new regions in the US, namely Arkansas, Montana, Puerto Rico, and West Virginia. Meanwhile, residents in Arizona, Georgia, Maryland, and New Mexico can already use their digital IDs for services at the DMV, providing a faster and more efficient customer experience.
With the deadline for implementing REAL ID on May 7, 2025, users who do not yet have a REAL ID SIM can still use digital ID from a US passport to pass TSA security at certain airports.
